D700 with an 18-200mm lens in a Pro Engage. The lid can close with our without the bag expanded. The main issue with the bag is that the center bottom is significantly raised compared to the edges to create space under the bag for the mount. The 700 is about as tall as you would want to carry in this bag. If you want to put padding under the camera, the bag would need to be expanded. |

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #16 Very good info for the op. Could I bother you to take a picture from the side of the bag mounted on the RS so I can see how well it fits the tank. It appears the bottom of the bag is flatter than I realized. I see you have the tablet holder. Is it wide enough to hold two folds of a standard road map.

Here you go, Lee. Tablet holder is a frustrating 1/4" to narrow for two folds of a standard map. Easy enought to fold over that 1/4", though. The height is perfect. |

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #16 That's very helpful. Good to see another D700 user too. I have a D850 but the D700 is for biking trips. |

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #18 I was afraid of that. I copy sections of maps for areas I think we will pass through and those single sheets are easy to fold, but sometimes we head off in a unplanned direction or state. Sometimes trying to do a odd fold on a full state map does not work well. Thanks for the picture. I like how the back of the bag slants down to match the tank shape. I'll probably replace my current Engage with the new Pro version next year.

Thank you so much for the pictures, just what I needed! The Z6 is a bit lower than the D700 but as the tank bag will have to be padded, it will have to be expanded with the camera in it. I think the size is fine. A pity the Engage does not have an external pocket, it would be perfect. |
